Godless Engineer | Talmudic Scholar Responds To Dr. Kipp Davis: "Errant, Rank Nonsense" @godlessengineer | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 14 hours ago.
In a recent discussion, I tackled the ongoing debate between Dr. Kip Davis and Dr. Richard Carrier regarding the concept of a suffering, disgraced, and dying Messiah in pre-Christian Judaism. Dr. Davis has questioned Dr. Carrier's assertions, mainly targeting his expertise and interpretation of Jewish messianic concepts. A key point of contention revolves around whether such a Messiah concept existed before Christianity's emergence. To support his stance, Dr. Carrier has cited several experts, including Dr. Daniel Boyarin, whose scholarship has sparked heated criticism from Dr. Davis. However, Dr. Boyarin seems to align with Carrier's view that the idea of a suffering Messiah was a part of Jewish tradition, extending beyond Christianity.
In my analysis, I explored the validity of Dr. Davis's criticisms, particularly his claim that Dr. Carrier lacks the expertise to interpret Talmudic texts, especially concerning Isaiah 52 and 53. Interestingly, Dr. Boyarin's words contradict Dr. Davis's assertions, indicating that Jewish authorities have long understood these passages as messianic. This challenges the notion that Christians distorted these texts to fit their theology. Ultimately, my conversation with Dr. Boyarin suggests that Dr. Carrier's conclusions are well-supported by experts in the field, while Dr. Davis's claims seem increasingly dubious.
